  1. #Deliverance

    6-link #Rengay
    For #Juneteenth
    By @DaveHiggins & @NaraMoore

    Plucked like banjo strings
    Into darkness and then out
    Worth more than a mule

    The whiteman's burden
    Carried on foreign backs

    Then waved as a flag
    Permission to join the race
    Replacing hobbles

    In the streets
    Fists held high
    Freedom cry

    The wind rushing past
    Future promise sought

    The drumming
    It will not wait
    Deliverance

    #Wss366 deliverance #TimeTravelAuthors 06/19. Do characters travel through space, or just time?

    I reached and took the ring from Georgina. It tingled like a spider walking across my palm. The front featured an emblazoned ivory crest. What was engraved there gave me a chill: a comet or shooting star above a dragon rampant.

    “The mark of the Ancient Serpent,” our host said.

    In my hand was a ring of power that would draw its bearer into the service of a greater malevolence.

    I muttered in English so only Emily understood, “In the darkness to bind them.” I would have to repeat the whole rhyme and explain it to her later.

    My fingers closed around the artifact. I didn’t know what evil I faced, but something had surely restored me to existence to combat it. As for Emily, I knew where she stood. She had never been one to shy away from danger.

    I looked at Georgina and said, “I am your servant. Tell me what to do.”

    She gave a grave nod while my partner threw me a thumbs-up, a gesture I had taught her.

    “You’re William de Lancaster,” our host said, “in the service of the Prior of Aymer and have recently escaped from the infidels. We’ll provide you with priest robes and a hood, so you can play the part. Walnut dye so your hair shines not so bright. William was a youth, so your smooth face and voice should not be an issue. Still, keep your countenance hidden and speak as little as possible.”

    I nodded, memorizing the information.

    “The ring will allow you to enter the castle and attend the conclave. Reaching the fortress is our main challenge, as the people despise the Frankish priests and may waylay us.”

    “That won’t be a problem,” I said. “I can travel to any place or time you direct. My concern is not being observed when I appear.”

    She nodded and resumed. “Tell them you carry the concerns of certain English bishops. Your presence requires no further explanation. Brian de Bois-Guilbert may question you, since there were reports of your capture and death at Acre. Reply that you were indeed captured but owe your #deliverance from the infidels to the grace of God. If he presses you further, say you escaped Salah ad-Din’s massacre of prisoners due to a miracle. Otherwise, remain silent; your French won’t pass as William’s.”

    I nodded again.

    “I can’t help you with what you will find in the castle, but your silence and the ring should carry you through. When you leave, I will have an escort waiting for you.”

    “No need,” I said. “I’ll appear in this shrine’s courtyard in a week’s time.”

    “Then rest well tonight, for tomorrow you enter the Evil One’s lair. May God and the Theotokos be with you.”

    Don't Believe the Wrong Report: Your Life Depends On It! A false cancer diagnosis nearly destroyed one man's will to live. He 'took the report' and prepared for the worst. When the truth came out, he was already mentally gone. Fear is false evidence, but God's report is healing and deliverance. #FaithOverFear #Healing #Deliverance #SpiritualJourney

  7. A quotation from Phyllis Wheatley

    In every human Breast, God has implanted a Principle, which we call Love of Freedom; it is impatient of Oppression, and pants for Deliverance.

    Phyllis Wheatley (1753-1784) African-American poet, manumitted (1773) enslaved person [also "Phillis" and/or "Wheatly"]
    Letter (1774-02-11) to Samson Occom

  8. Classic Opeth is this afternoon's soundtrack.

    I remember heading down to the music store over 23 years ago this month to purchase this beauty. Epic.

  9. #Isaiah presented a series of "#servant songs" in Isaiah 42:1-53:12.

    They spoke of YHWH's servant and the kinds of things he would do and represent. 

    Many of the "servant songs" seem to suggest Israel is the servant God has in mind.  Yet other "servant songs" present the servant as somehow representing his people. 

    Isaiah 52:13-53:12 went so far as to suggest the Servant would #suffer in order for His people to find #deliverance.

  11. Sissy Spacek as Ruth Deaver is such a perfect King universe casting choice. The dementia subplot adds a whole different layer of horror to the house. #FrightClub #CastleRock #S1E1 #Deliverance

  12. Bill Skarsgård is doing what he does best… being terrifying without saying a word. Finding a nameless man in a literal hole beneath a prison is the ultimate nope moment. 😂 #FrightClub #CastleRockS1E1 #Deliverance

  13. Suicide by rope and Lincoln is one of the most metal ways to exit a show in the first ten minutes. #FrightClub #CastleRockS1E1 #Deliverance

  14. Finally watched the movie “Deliverance” the other night. Never seen it before and I don’t think I’ll ever see it again. Disturbing doesn’t even begin to describe it.

  16. 🔥 Faith is proved in the fire.
    Like Shadrach, Meshach & Abednego, we’re called to stand bold when tested.
    Don’t bow. Don’t break. Jesus is with you in the flames.

    What a powerful name! Do you know any more?

    The puritans had no qualms in naming their daughters "Deliverance". That is pushing it, if you ask me. Hopestill is fine, I could adopt it as my own name! :-)

    Our twins have biblical names too, as it happens, with a specific reason why these should be their names. But no one can tell. Their names blend in.
